Question 94037
Solve:
{{{2x+3 = 5x+8}}} Collect the variable, x, on one side of the equation by subtracting 2x from both sides.
{{{3 = 3x+8}}} Now isolate the variable term by subtracting 8 from both sides.
{{{-5 = 3x}}} Finally, divide both sides by 3 to get the variable alone.
{{{-5/3 = x}}} or {{{x = -5/3}}}
